Day 3 the 27th of Nov (Friday) consisted of heading out the Chelsea market in the hopes of seeing the studios of Food Network. The Chelsea market is an architectural gem - he building is interesting on the outside and very neat on the inside. At the Market we grabbed some lobster bisque at an amazing fish market - have never seen such variety of fish! Below is a pic of some lobster claws.... After the fish place we visited an Italian store with crazy varieties of cheese and cured meats! We got two types of cheese to eat and bring back. The one things we didn't get to do was go see the Food Network - turns out you have to go online and put your name in for a show ticket lottery, no ticket no see studio :(. 
After the Chelsea market we decided to hit the museums - the Natural history Museum and the Museum of Art - we wanted to see the MOMA but it was sheer madness at the MOMA we looked in and seeing the crowds decided we'd leave it for another trip. The Natural history museum was an accidental visit the A,C,E subway drops you off at the Natural History museum from where you take a bus through Cental park to get to the Museum of art. since we were there and you guessed it the tickets were covered by the NYCity Pass we decided why not - lets go see it. Well worth the trip specially for kids.
The planetirium at the natural history museum i sawesome looking - looks like a spaceship. After the natural history we headed over to the Art museum to see Monet's, Manet's, Van Gogh's, Rembrants, lots of royal palace rooms, greek and roman sculptures and amongst the best Armour and weapons collections!
After the museum we headed to central park to see the city from inside the park. It's a beautiful site and the park is gigantic!
After the park it was off to eat at 'Fatty Crab' - this deserves a whole new post. After 'Fatty Crab' we got hungry and headed back to China town :)
